August 10, 2011 by Mike 40 Comments

Game 115: Rookie vs. Rookie
Grandy, Cano, Nova lead the way in Yanks win over Angels

Ravel Santana got some love in today’s Minor League Update (subs. req’d), with Kevin Goldstein simply saying the “19-year-old Dominican is a high-ceiling tools machine with above-average power and speed.”

Triple-A Scranton (4-2 loss to Gwinnett)
Dan Brewer, RF: 0 for 0, 1 HBP, 1 CS – got hit then got thrown out trying to steal in the first, then immediately came out of the game
Jordan Parraz, RF, Brandon Laird, 3B & Greg Golson, LF: all 0 for 3 – Parraz walked … Laird drove in two … Golson walked and struck out three times
Chris Dickerson, CF & Jesus Montero, C: both 0 for 4, 1 BB – Dickerson struck out once, Montero twice … C-Dick also got picked off first
Mike Lamb, DH: 1 for 3, 2 R, 1 BB
Jorge Vazquez, 1B: 2 for 3, 1 HBP
Luis Nunez, 2B: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 K
Doug Bernier, SS: 1 for 2, 2 BB – it seems like he walks a lot more than he really does (just 28 BB in 77 games)
D.J. Mitchell, RHP: 8 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, 2 WP, 10-2 GB/FB – 62 of 101 pitches were strikes (61.3%) … picked a runner off first … way to be efficient
Logan Kensing, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB – ten of 14 pitches were strikes (71.4%)

Double-A Trenton (9-3 loss to Binghamton)
Austin Krum, LF, Melky Mesa, CF, Damon Sublett, DH & Jose Gil, C: all 1 for 4 – Krum walked and struck out twice … Mesa scored a run … Sublett doubled, drove in a run, and struck out twice … Gil drove in a run, struck out, and committed a throwing error
Jose Pirela, SS & Corban Joseph, 2B: both 1 for 5 – Pirela drove in a run and committed a fielding error … CoJo doubled
Rob Lyerly, 1B: 0 for 4, 3 K, 1 E (fielding)
Zoilo Almonte, RF & Addison Maruszak, 3B: both 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB – Maruszak doubled and committed a fielding error
Shaeffer Hall, LHP: 4.1 IP, 11 H, 8 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 11-1 GB/FB – damn you defense
Chase Whitley, RHP: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 3-0 GB/FB – he was up to 92 on the gun
Wilkins Arias, RHP: 2 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 0-2 GB/FB
Kanekoa Texeira, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB

High-A Tampa (4-0 loss to Clearwater in seven innings) makeup of yesterday’s rain out

Jose Quintana, LHP: 4 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2 WP, 2-4 GB/FB – picked a runner off first … that’s ten runs total in his last two starts (8.1 IP), so let’s see how he comes out of this
Dan Burawa, RHP: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 4-2 GB/FB

High-A Tampa (6-5 loss to Clearwater in seven innings)
